Subscribe to our newsletter Reports are circulating that Man of Tomorrow director James Gunn is considering Andor actor Adria Arjuna for the role of Maxima in the Superman sequel.

However, Gunn himself has debunked those rumors, calling them "crazy."The reports, courtesy of Deadline, also initially named Marisa Abela and Ella Purnell as other candidates for Maxima.

However, Gunn refuted the rumors so forcefully on social media that Deadline issued a retraction, altering their article to remove Abela and Purnell's names as Gunn says he's never even met them, let alone auditioned them for roles in the film."Deadline's reporting is shoddy & incorrect.

I've always thought Deadline was pretty thorough in their journalism but that's not the case here so I'm frankly disappointed," Gunn posted on social media.

.

"If someone would have run these names by us we would have said it's bullshit.

I've been friends with Adria a long time since I cast her in the Belko Experiment.

I'm a fan of both Marisa and Ella but I've never met either of them ## Editor's Note The gaming community will surely have mixed reactions to this news.
